booooooo was hoping for an announcement today.

Re: Administration 3 - now in technicolour : Thu Dec 01, 2016 2:17 pm  

I see lots of flowers and blue sky there (no bees or wasps though). So the first date mentioned for the sale has now passed....new date anyone?

I also spotted a possible clue in their but you would probably have to scour press releases from interested parties who spoke out a week or so ago.

New date, i would guess next week as the administrator hopes to get a sales agreement out over the weekend.

Share your clue then?

I see interest from Wasps that moves us to Coventry. There is quite a lot in there about protecting the club's cultural identity and being from the city of Bradford, etc. I'm not sure I see that as coincidental.

Just been reading about players and non playing staff being paid today or tomorrow which is great...
But it states that there are 68 non playing staff!!!! What do they all do there???
No wonder bulls tax bill is high!!!

That could easily include stewards, bar staff and other match day extras though. If you do include those kind of people, it's not a high figure at all.

Although admittedly why they'd need paying in November when we haven't had a game day, I'm not sure. But just theorising.

Re: Administration 3 - now in technicolour : Thu Dec 01, 2016 2:54 pm  

this part interested me:

“I am in the process of drafting a sale agreement, which is likely to be issued over the weekend. Whilst public comment is restricted by non-disclosure agreements, we continue to make solid progress with the interested parties regarding the sale process. Equally, this is not an overnight procedure and nothing can be guaranteed in terms of time-scale."

drafting a sale agreement wouldn't be done on a whim? sounds like some sort of agreement has been made and they're going through the process now?

More like he knows who the winning party is and are drafting up the necessary paper work as a final hurdle, if that gets the green light then we should know by early next week all being well

We could get into the situation again whereby the purchaser requires confirmation of certain issues from the RFL and that the RFL will not give confirmation until the purchaser is know.

Quoted from the statement

There has been an hourly, ongoing and extensive dialogue between the RFL, Joint Administrators and several of the interested parties.

You'd like to think that any problems in the process would have been ironed out as they've gone along
